You could just use a REPLACE WITH command and an empty line

In phpMyAdmin, select your current phpBB database. Click the export tab. In the "Export" multi-select list, select all of the tables except for the user, themes and themes_name tables. Make sure the options to export both the SQL and the data are checked. Under SQL, make sure the "add drop table" op...

OK, so the logical thing to do here would be to backup all of your tables except for the config , theme and theme_name . Then do a clean re-install of phpBB. Afterwards, import all of your saved tables, overwritting the current ones. This will leave you with all of youe existing user/post/etc data b...

reinstall?

create a new row:

INSERT INTO `<your config table name>` VALUES ('default_style', '1');

JT,

Access has an Upsizing wizard that you can use to upgrade your database to SQL Server. Look for it in th Tools->Database Utilities menu.

It's one of the tables in your phpBB database. If you changed the Table Prefix setting during the install of phpBB then it will be named "<your prefix>config"

You can also test the cookie theory by: log in to the forums with the "keep me logged in" option checked close and re-open the browser navigate back to your forums. If you are not still logged in, then there's a problem with your cookies. Try deleting all of your cookies (usually an option under you...

That would lead me to believe that it is a cookie problem :) Double check your cookie settings in your Admin Configuration page. Make sure you are using the full domain name for the cookie domain and that the path is properly set to the phpbb directory. Example If your phpBB is installed at http://w...

Log in as an administrator and click the Administration link. Click the Configuration link in the Admin menu and look for the "Enable account activation" setting. Set it to Admin if you want to manually approve all accounts or User if you want to just enable email verification for each user. Regards...

You'll need an FTP client like FileZilla and a text editor (Notepad, EditPlus or some other editor will do). Download the file templates/<your style directory>/index_body.tpl from the forums directory on your server. Open the file in your text editor and search for the area of the page that draws th...

Maybe something like the Rollout Categories Hack?

Didn't you download the files from your previous provider? including a DB backup? If so, use those file's to set up your forum at your new service provider. If not, in most cases all that you need to do is copy the style files into your templates directory and then choose that as the default style ...

Obviously it's some problem with your database. Unfortunately, it's impossible for us to determine the exact problem just from that error page. It would help if you could post what version of phpBB you're running, what type and version of database your using and what type and version of server softw...

I can think of two solutions: 1.) Look into adding the bantron mod to your forums. It will let you better control who is banned. When your problem users come back to sign up a new username, make note of the IP address that they came from and/or what email address they used when registering. Then, us...
